att_releases_free_feature

Are you a fan of Facebook? Addicted to Twitter? Compulsively checking your Myspace 100 times a day? Wish you could check all three at once, on a half baked application provided by your carrier? If you’re on AT&T, congratulations, it’s your lucky day…AT&T has debuted “Social Net”, a program designed to give you one-stop access to Myspace, Twitter and Facebook. It’s only available on branded AT&T handsets (ones that come with Media Mall).

It appears to be free at this time, though I don’t know if they intend to find a way to charge in the future. I downloaded it today for my E71x, and so far I am unimpressed. It’s a great viewing tool, but it redirects you to m.facebook.com as soon as you want to comment on a post, or respond to a message…at which point I could have just gone right to the website and skipped out the middleman. Hopefully there will be improvements along the way…still, if you’re a social networking fiend it’s better than flipping between several mobile sites at once, so give it a shot and comment below with your perspective!
